Non-Degree Student
APG employees can work towards a graduate certificate, or pursue a part-time M.S. or Ph.D. in ECE. A “step up” model allows for the accumulation of credentials, with stackable certificates applicable to the M.S. degree, which in turn can contribute to the Ph.D. program.
Graduate Certificates
Each certificate requires completion of 3 courses. We offer certificates in:
- large-scale data analytics
- machine learning foundations
- signal processing and imaging systems
- cybersecurity
- communication systems
- RF engineering
Students wishing to apply for the graduate certificate, master’s, or Ph.D. program can directly apply at the UD Graduate Application website.

Course Cancellations
Contact the course instructor or registrar to withdraw your nomination prior to the registration deadline to avoid being billed. After the deadline, you must contact the course instructor to cancel and determine whether your organization will be billed. We avoid charging whenever possible, but if we have contracted for the course and only have the minimum number required to pay the bill, we have no choice but to charge for late cancellations and “no-shows.”
